(1)   In this press release, in addition to GAAP financial results, the     
      Company has provided non-GAAP financial measures including non-GAAP   
      gross margin, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP net income   
      (loss) and non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share. These non-GAAP         
      financial measures reflect certain adjustments as presented in the    
      tables in this press release. The Company also provided Adjusted      
      EBITDA and non-GAAP free cash flow as supplemental measures of its    
      performance. These items are defined in the footnotes to the selected 
      corporate data tables provided at the end of this press release. The  
      Company is providing these financial measures because it believes this
      non-GAAP presentation makes it easier for investors to compare its    
      operating results for current and historical periods and also because 
      the Company believes it assists investors in comparing the Company's  
      performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by         
      excluding items that it does not believe are indicative of its core   
      operating performance and for the other reasons described in the      
      footnotes to the selected data tables. Refer to corresponding tables  
      at the end of this press release for additional AMD data.             
(2)   AMD GX-415GA scored 209, AMD G-T56N scored 98, and Intel Atom D525    
      scored 93, based on an average of Sandra Engineering 2011 Dhyrstone,  
      Sandra Engineering 2011 Whetstone and EEMBC CoreMark Multi-thread     
      benchmark results. AMD G-T56N system configuration used iBase MI958   
      motherboard with 4BG DDR3 and integrated graphics. AMD GX-415GA system
      configuration used AMD "Larne" Reference Design Board with 4GB [1]    
      Based on AMD's small core Opteron™ processor Model X1150 vs. Intel®   
      Atom™ Model S1260, Intel's highest performance small core processor.  
      Highest density based on cores/rack. Since Opteron X-Series has double
      the number of cores of Intel Atom S1200 series, it has the double the 
      density among small core x86 processors. Most power efficient small   
      core x86 processor as measured by SPECint®_rate_base2006 estimates    
      divided by TDP.

    * The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of its 
    performance. Adjusted EBITDA for the Company is determined by adjusting 
    operating income (loss) for depreciation and amortization, employee     
    stock-based compensation expense and amortization of acquired intangible
    assets. In addition, the Company also included the following adjustments
    for the applicable period: for all periods presented, except for the    
    second quarter of 2012, the Company also included an adjustment for net 
    restructuring and other special charges; for the second quarter of 2012,
    the Company included an adjustment related to a legal settlement with a 
    third party; and for six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company also   
    included adjustments for the limited waiver of exclusivity from         
    GLOBALFOUNDRIES, legal settlement with a third party and costs related  
    to acquisition of SeaMicro, Inc. The Company calculates and communicates
    Adjusted EBITDA in the financial schedules because the Company's        
    management believes it is of importance to investors and lenders in     
    relation to its overall capital structure and its ability to borrow     
    additional funds. In addition, the Company presents Adjusted EBITDA     
    because it believes this measure assists investors in comparing its     
    performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding 
    items that the Company does not believe are indicative of its core      
    operating performance. The Company's calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may 
    or may not be consistent with the calculation of this measure by other  
    companies in the same industry. Investors should not view Adjusted      
    EBITDA as an alternative to the GAAP operating measure of operating     
    income (loss) or GAAP liquidity measures of cash flows from operating,  
    investing and financing activities. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does   
    not take into account changes in certain assets and liabilities as well 
    as interest and income taxes that can affect cash flows.                
                                                                            
    ** The Company also presents non-GAAP free cash flow in the earnings    
    release as a supplemental measure of its performance. Non-GAAP free cash
    flow is determined by adjusting GAAP net cash provided by (used in)     
    operating activities for capital expenditures. The Company calculates   
    and communicates non-GAAP free cash flow in the financial schedules     
    because the Company's management believes it is of importance to        
    investors to understand the nature of these cash flows. The Company's   
    calculation of non-GAAP free cash flow may or may not be consistent with
    the calculation of this measure by other companies in the same industry.
    Investors should not view non-GAAP free cash flow as an alternative to  
    GAAP liquidity measures of cash flows from operating activities. The    
    Company has provided reconciliations within the press release and       
    financial schedules of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most    
    directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
